Rep. Kesha Ram, D-Burlington, and Brandon Riker are winning the money race for lieutenant governor, according to campaign finance reports filed this week.

Ram raised $96,122 this cycle. Riker raised $78,258, though he has another $100,000 from earlier fundraising. A big chunk of that total, $65,819, came from his own pocket.

Sen. David Zuckerman, P-Chittenden, has raised $64,535. Zuckerman had intended to use public financing for his campaign, but couldn't because of a rule that says a publicly financed candidate can’t campaign before Feb 15 of an election year.

He said he raised the bulk of his cash in recent days.

Both Ram and Zuckerman have received donations from their colleagues in the Statehouse.
